Chapter 6 - Meeting Luna

Somewhere far away from all existence, in a realm of constantly flickering scenes all around, the sky a literal projection of all things that pulsed and shifted with raw, untamed power. Sometimes you see a hero fighting a great demon lord with blades clashing in explosive fury or even something more absurd like the creation of an entire galaxy swirling from primordial chaos! Calling this realm beautiful would even be a disgrace to this mythical magnificence that thrummed with infinite possibilities.

Glorious, utterly GLORIOUS!!!!

In this realm there is much to see that may never be seen by another being aside from the one who created it all, visions layering upon visions in an endless cascade of wonder. At the center of this realm lay a sleeping beauty with flawless skin that's nearly translucent, glowing with an inner light that defied comprehension.

One could see something far that surpass normal 'beauty', a radiance that eclipsed stars. Not even the most beautiful goddess could ever amount to a fraction of this entity, her presence a silent symphony of perfection. With flowing black hair as dark as the void with streaks of silver throughout that shimmered like captured moonlight, this woman lay motionless as if she hasn't moved in eons, her form suspended in timeless grace.

Which she hasn't until today that is....

Suddenly the eyelids of this mythical entity slowly fluttered open, the motion graceful as the dawn of creation, and, in her eyes, one could see.... nothing? Yes, that's correct one could see nothing but in the next moment one would see everything exactly like the sky of this realm, universes blooming and fading in their depths!

"~Fufufu~ After so long my Babyboy is finally awake." The lady spoke. And her voice? Ethereal, Timeless, absolutely divine, resonating through the realm like the first word ever uttered.

She slowly sat up in a sitting position in thin air, the void cradling her like a throne. After taking in the serene beauty of her realm that was the exact same since the last time, every flicker unchanged in its eternal dance, she opened her eyes fully.

She turned her head towards the direction of Akasha stepping out of the crumbling egg, her gaze piercing through infinities.

"After so long, I look forward to your divine journey throughout this home of yours.... son." The lady spoke with a loving smile that would blind any villain, its warmth flooding the expanse like liquid sunlight.

"Don't have me waiting for long, Akasha." The lady spoke as she slowly closed her eyes again, the lids descending like veils over galaxies.

"Your mother is always watching~", the whisper lingering like an eternal promise.

Elsewhere...

The entire universe was showered in such a blinding rainbow light that it seemed that all of existence stopped working, colors exploding in prismatic fury across every corner of reality. 

And indeed, everything completely stopped working, time freezing in crystalline stillness.

Usually when there's a birth of an absurd individual the heavens always show peculiar premonitions, omens crackling with cosmic significance. Whether it be illusory signs like phenoxies streaking fiery trails or dragons soaring through the skies with roars that shook worlds or gods bowing in a worshiping manner, their heads lowered in reverent awe, you know some type of bullshit.

But this time, the entire universe stopped working like even existence itself wasn't worthy of witnessing this birth, the pause absolute and humbling.

Back to Akasha

After finally being able to see after an hour that felt like an eternity, the light piercing through the shell's remnants like a supernova's heart, Akasha was absolutely stunned about what he was seeing, his senses overwhelmed in a torrent of revelation.

His surroundings? Darkness, yep, still nothing but darkness that stretched infinite and velvet-thick. Although this time he could see shining lights in the far distance, maybe stars or something twinkling with distant promise. But that's not what stunned him at all, instead it was the divine beauty siting crossed legged floating in thin air, her form a beacon in the void. In front of Akasha was a lady with flowing white hair, so white that it looked like it would be a sin for the air to even dirty it, strands cascading like purified moonlight.

As he slowly examined the beauty after his initial shock, his breath steadying into calm, he calmed down. Because even with all his shock, this divine beauty, looked 100x more shocked than he did, her eyes wide with cosmic bewilderment. As he slowly stepped out the crumbling egg, fragments drifting like sacred dust, he made his way in front of the beauty, his steps echoing in the silence.

ahem, the sound clearing the tension like a bell in the abyss.

"Hey, there miss~?" Akasha said as he tried to be eloquent while he was still sizing up the lady, his gaze tracing her ethereal lines.

'Fuck this lady is hot!!! I don't even think that goddess Aphrodite would look this beautiful if she were real, her allure pulling like gravity itself. He thought while waiting for an answer.'

[~Fufufu look at you talking all eloquently Akasha~.] The lady spoke in a teasing tone after shaking off her initial shock, her voice a melodic caress, but still not comprehending what the fuck she was seeing! 'I can clearly feel all of existence clearly stop functioning the moment he stepped out of the egg.... and what the hell is this form?!!!' She thought while looking at Akasha trying to hide her shock, her composure a fragile veil.

"Eh?!" Akasha suddenly exclaimed while turning his head sideway while looking at the lady, confusion flashing like lightning. Then the sudden realization hit him, crashing like a wave.

"Y-you are the voice of that spirit I was hearing?" He asked as he was now lowkey regretting being so nonchalant to this beauty, the regret sharp and immediate. 'Fuck! If I knew you were this beautiful the process would've been much more enjoyable!' He thought before speaking out again, the words tumbling free.

"And your name?"

[Luna, just call me luna....] she said while still trying to figure out what she was seeing, her mind racing through eons of knowledge. After waiting for literal eons to see what Akasha would look like and what she saw was.... A pure white silhouette!

THAT'S IT!

The more she tried to focus on his features, the more she would forget exactly what she wanted to focus on, the image slipping like smoke.

"Well hello Luna...." Akasha spoke while finally looking around taking in his surroundings, his eyes sweeping the expanse. But again darkness. 'Tsk, darkness again! Well at least a beauty can make this a bit more.... enjoyable?' He thought internally before Luna addressed his worries, her voice cutting through.

[~Hey, chill out, btw I can hear all your inner thoughts, so thanks for all the compliments dear~] Luna said in a teasingly manner while slowly standing from her sitting position, her form unfolding gracefully, and continuing.

[Currently, we are at the edge of existence where no life can reach, the boundary humming with forbidden energy. This is the fourth universe out of many, and the reason we are yet to transmigrate to the fantasy world is because, it isn't possible for any celestial body to contain your birth.

Meaning if you were on a planet or star while being born then all life within would be obliterated and we wouldn't want that now, would we?] Luna spoke before once more speaking, her explanation flowing like a river of stars.

And What's up with your look?]

"Y-you can hear my thoughts?!" Akasha yelled for the umpteenth time since the end of his 'life', his voice echoing in shock. 'And what does she mean what's up with my look?' He thought as he slowly examined himself, his hands tracing his form. Looking down at his skin he could see that his skin was nearly translucent and seeing hair that touched his shoulders he guessed that its mostly black and silver, strands weaving like night and starlight.

And although he couldn't see them his eyes looked as if they could swallow you whole. They were magnificent, his pupils were everchanging. Sometimes a galaxy swirling in hypnotic spirals and then sometimes his eyes would have multiple pupils rotating clockwise, layers upon layers of depth. They were utterly hypnotizing.

Not knowing that Luna couldn't perceive him fully he said

"Well, my skin is pretty translucent, and my hair is black and silver around shoulder length he said with a shrug, the motion casual amid the awe. But internally.... he was panicking 'Why the fuck am I translucent? Don't tell me I will look like some ghost while fighting.... What happened to me being a dragon?!'

Just as he was thinking he suddenly felt as if he could change his image to his will, the power surging intuitive and absolute. Moments later he stood there with light brownskin that was flawless and unblemished, radiating warm vitality. His hair still black with streaks of silver catching ethereal glints.

All in All, he looked more divine than even the most mythical creatures, his presence commanding the void. As he slowly examined his new form, muscles defined yet elegant, he suddenly felt like this was more of a disguise than his first look, a mask over true essence? 

As he was thinking he heard

[Handsome, indeed] Luna spoke as she was trying to hide her blushes, a faint rose tinting her cheeks. 

[Okay let us begin, you will have access to all your cheats upon arrival in the world of KALPA!!], the promise igniting like dawn.
